Base Effects
Increases available building slots on planets. Improves planetary resource richness.
Requirements
Research Lab Level 6 Engineering Lab Level 20 Planetary Engineering Level 6 Colonial Expansion Level 8 Supply Chain Mastery Level 6

Terraformer

The Terraformer reshapes a planet to add build slots and slightly improve extractor richness — a Realm 3 megaproject.

Mechanics

Planet-only
Each level adds +4 building slots on that planet
Applies a modest richness bonus to mines (see in-game reference)
High energy upkeep at upper levels — budget Elerium Reactor or Fusion Reactor capacity

Special capabilities

Planet slot expansion

Alternative path to more slots alongside Planetary Engineering research
Required progression step toward Ascension Gate (level 6 Terraformer)

Strategy

Build on your main production world when you hit slot caps
Start only after Engineering Lab level 20 requirement is planned — build time is enormous
Coordinate with Warehouse and mine upgrades after slots land

Lore

Terraforming projects represent one of the most ambitious engineering efforts undertaken by galactic civilizations.

Over decades, these systems reshape planetary climates, stabilize tectonic activity, and expand usable terrain.

Entire continents have been reshaped by terraforming initiatives.
